After a hot afternoon of hiking, a cool beer sounded like a plan. It was late on a Sunday…read moreafternoon and the small taproom was about half full, with the outdoor seating areas about the same. We got samples of the 2 IPAs on tap and settled on Duncan Bay IPA, a refreshing American IPA with fairly restrained hops. Lots of beers on the menu were fruit-flavored, which is usually not our jam (so to speak). One that caught our eye was an imperial cinnamon hefeweizen. I could see potential for that to go either very right or very wrong but ventured a sample. It came with a honey/cinnamon glaze on the rim of the glass, which the barman explained was optional. We didn't like the glaze but did like the beer and opted for a small pour sans glaze. Ended up taking a crowler of that with us. A very unique and satisfying beer. Very worth a stop if you're in Cheboygan. I'd love to get back in the cooler months to see what kinds of warm-ups are on tap.

We loved standing outside and watching them make the fudge from the window. We couldn't be inside…read morevery long because it was very hot standing in there the day we visited. The staff were okay, we felt a little rushed even though there was no line when we came in. But the fudge is amazing- literally the best I ever had. We chose the chocolate cherry to share.

I was really looking forward to this place and was very disappointed. First of all, they only offer…read morea sample of one favor they decide on, you are not able to taste any of the other flavors. Secondly, they do not offer any smaller sizes of each flavor, only a giant slice of something you don't even know if you're going to like because .... they don't offer samples. And thirdly, the workers are beyond rude. I get the fact that you deal with hundreds upon hundreds of people a day but you need to realize that for each one of us, this is an experience we have been eagerly anticipating. So reluctantly,I purchased three giant slices because they had a buy 2 get a 3rd half off deal. The fourth disappointment came when I tasted it, it was so dry that I regretted buying them. I gave them 2 stars instead of one because I did enjoy watching them make the fudge, that was interesting.

One of the nicer fudge and candy shops in Mackinaw City…read more If one thing is for certain, it's that Mackinaw City is teeming with fudge shops. You look one direction, there's a fudge shop, whip your head around, there's another.. and another and another and so on. You get the point. Between the city and the island, I've lost count of how many there are. In fact, it seems like a few companies have sealed the deal on fudge by owning multiple shops under slightly different names all over town (and the island, plus a few downstate storefront locations) offering similar products, prices and promotions. Way to monopolize! It's a bit confusing, to be honest. Combine that with the fact that several of the traditional gift shops and restaurants have even gotten into the habit of offering fudge, and well, the choices are rather dizzying. With that said, not all fudge shops are created equal. Some have better quality fudge, taffy, truffles, ice cream, etc, while some have better salesmanship and service or a more competitive price. It all depends on what you want. We stopped into Mackinaw Fudge on vacation this summer. They had the single best fudge promotion going at the time- "buy two, get two slices free" of any flavor(s) for $16, which translates to merely $4 per slice. Nowhere else in town did we find a fudge deal as good as that one. So, what about quality? Well, I haven't really ever had anything that could be described as bad fudge from any of the shops around Mackinaw before, so the quality is pretty even among all of the competition (of which there is a lot), with a few variations. Overall, I liked the selection of fudge here, which was massive and the dark chocolate, mint chocolate and maple fudge were all rich and creamy and tasted legitimately sublime. For me, the dark chocolate varieties are where it's at. There's no telling how much of it I could eat, so reigning in my "inner fudgie" is a must. The taffy selection was pretty extensive as well and the deal on that was also great. I like homemade taffy (the good stuff, not the crappy carnival goo), so I thought theirs won out on the taffy taste challenge. It had great flavor and wasn't too stiff or sticky. Of all the taffy I sampled, theirs was one of the best when it came to consistency and flavor. Their saltwater taffy promotion was $6.99 per pound, not at all a bad price. As for service, it was hospitable and the guy that waited on us pointed out the various fudge promotions and operating hours of other fudge shops around town, showing us that he wasn't just trying to make a sale. There was no hard sale involved and he was generous with the samples. I think he doled out between 5-6 samples to us before we decided on what we really wanted. I didn't get to see anyone making fudge here (they do it in the back and not in front of customers), so that was a bummer and this particular shop stopped scooping ice cream awhile ago. I asked why and it was explained to us that they eliminated the ice cream counter to make way for more product. That, too, was a bummer, but I understood why they made the change. I was little disappointed because I remember getting fabulous ice cream here before, but I found a worthy alternative ice cream spot shortly thereafter. The fudge promotion remained the best in town, so we took advantage of it. It was the best deal of the day.

BEST DONUTS!! We walked from Mission Point and it was a great view. Well worth it once we arrived…read more The donuts are like cider donuts but better (who knew that's possible). Great with coffee. We had some left over and ate the rest the next morning along the water. You stop here during one of the carriage tours as well so take the time to bring donuts off the island with you too. It's that good.

BEST. DONUTS. EVER…read more I am a HUGE fan of cake donuts and the donuts at Feed Bag did not let me down! Tucked away in Surrey Hills, The Feed Bag offers various donuts, hot dogs, nachos and other snacks to hold you over throughout your Mackinac Island visit. I've been to Mackinac Island a handful of times and I am constantly trying to find new places to visit and explore. After a 3 hour hike and my boyfriend complaining he was hungry (no surprise there!), I led us to The Feed Bag. my boyfriend is not the biggest donut fan, but he hasn't stopped talking about the donuts here in the weeks since! So fresh. So warm and comforting. My usual is a plain cake donut, but the real stand out here is the cake donut with sprinkles and a light amount of frosting. Tastes like Fruity Pebbles! The workers here were courteous and welcoming, just like all islanders are. Highly recommend stopping in for donuts on your next visit! It's a short walk from Grand Hill!

They do have specials - I've posted the current ones, but you have to buy quite a bit more and we just don't have room for anything else at the moment. Smells amazing in here tho.
